Hello Again,

I have been doing a bit of investigating, and I have found that, if the fancybox is launched from a page or a post, it does not inherit the css styles that have been loaded by the header of the parent window. I am unsure whether to consider this a problem or not. It would be nice (for me) if the already loaded styles were inherited by the fancybox window, but I can certainly see other uses for the fancybox where you wouldn’t want to have the sytles inherited. I have be able to figure out how to reload the default visual form builder css styles, just before the fancybox opens up, but, doing that causes the fancybox open very slowly because the visual form builder code is very inefficient in this case. If I continue down this path I will look for ways to make the form builder load the css more efficiently.

At this point, I do not need any further help from you. Thank your very much for your support. There are so many plugin authors who do not respond to support requests, it is very nice to talk to one who does. So, thank you very much, your help is appreciated.

Thank you again for responding. I do have the inline content option enabled. If I follow your example exactly (except without the width and height), the only thing that is shown in the fancybox is the shortcode ‘[vfb id=15]’. Your example is not working for me the way you expect it to work.
The only way I have been able to get the form to display inside the fancybox is to output the results of do_shortcode.
Here is my code.

$label = “Volunteer at Show”;
$button_style = 'class="ActiveShowButton fancybox-inline"';
$str 	.= '<a href="#volunteer_form"' . $button_style . '>' . $label . '</a>';
$str 	.= '<div class="fancybox-hidden">';
$str 		.= '<div id="volunteer_form">';
$str 			.= do_shortcode('[vfb id=15]'); // display form, but css is wrong
//	$str 			.= '[vfb id=15]';// displays only '[vfb id=15]'
$str 		.= '</div>';
$str 	.= '</div>';

Thank you for your observation that the https://dev.pvda.org/wp-content/plugins/visual-form-builder-pro/css/visual-form-builder.min.css file is being loaded in the first example but not in the second example. I will start investigating in that area.

Thank you very much.

Hello RavanH,

Thank you for getting back to me. Your reply gave me the hint that I needed to figure it out. So, in my php code where I construct the html that is shown in my previous post, I changed one line of code that looked like this:

$output .= ‘[vfb id=5]’;

to

$output .= do_shortcode(‘[vfb id=5]’);

and now, the form appears in the popup. ??

Thank you very much, I appreciate your time!

@bestwebsoft, Sorry, I don’t recall seeing a notification that you replied to my message. Maybe I forgot to the check the box saying that I want to receive notifications, or maybe my inbox is just too full and things get lost. Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to be rude.

I moved on to using a different plugin that is working well for my purposes.

Thank you for attempting to contact me, sorry I missed the message.

Hello,
I really like your plugin. But I am not able to get the buttons to appear next to each other horizontally like you show in your screen shots. My buttons always appear one on top of the other. It is driving me crazy;

Any ideas?

Thanks

I apologize for posting this issue. There is no issue. I was working on my website while I was work (playing hooky) when I posted this issue. But, I just got home from work and I up IE on my laptop and went to my website and it works just fine. So I checked the version that I have and its version 11!

I don’t typically use IE, so I didn’t know that the version they have at work is out of date.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for trying it out. I have tried contacting the developer in another post on this forum but have received no reply.

Have either of you (rwilki and amatri) been able to get this plugin to work with the CSV import? If you haven’t tried it yet, could you try it and then post whether or not it worked for you? I posted 3 days ago that I get an error when I try to import from a csv file, and I would like to know if it works for anyone else.
Thanks

Hi Massimo, Sorry I did not see your post earlier. I would have responded earlier. It would be so incredibly awesome if it were possible to browse files located on google drive. I desperately need a way to allow users on my site to browse and download files with an easy to use file browser UI. I am so surprised that there is no functionality like this already available in WordPress. I would love to be able to easily browse my own folders on the server where my site is located, but there are no plugins available that use a simple browser-like interface. So, I thought the next best thing would be to put my files out on google and let my user’s access them from there.

Thanks! Please let me know when something like this is released. And I would be happy to be a beta tester for you if you wanted to send me a beta version.

I just downloaded the latest version of the free plugin (1.9.5) and I am having the problem you have described. Very frustrating that it would work for some, not work for others, get fixed, work for some, not work for others, etc.

Also, does anyone know if there is a way to use this plugin on top of an existing directory structure and import the structure and the files? I really don’t want to have to create folders manually and upload lots of files manually.

matihle, What help did you receive? I am having the same problem, but you didn’t mention how it was fixed. I would love to know how you got it to work.

Hi, How did you get this plugin to work? I get errors when I install it. It seems to be expecting to load a file from a subdirectory in the phpgrid folder, but there are no subdirectories there. Did you run into this problem? If not, where did you download the plugin from and how did you get it to work?

Thanks!

Awesome! Thanks. It was so easy now I’m embarrassed that I didn’t figure that out myself :/

Ok, I will look into the single position widget stuff and see if looks harder than I want to get into. I’m making a website for a club that I belong to and the showcase header is really nice to have. I would like to put some photos of our members having fun, and a slider for recent club news and events without taking up a lot of vertical real-estate.

Thanks so much for your help!

Valerie

Never mind, I figured out that this plugin does not work “out of the box” for custom post types. After I added “, ‘post_type’ => ‘any’ );” to the end of line 33 in carousel-horizontal-post-slider.php, it worked fine.

Hi Tobias,

Well, now I feel like an idiot. The problem WAS that I had a file open in the editor at the same time I was trying to save the settings. So sorry I bothered you. I know you are very busy supporting your software and I sincerely appreciate your reply.

You made a great plugin and it is going to help me out a lot!

Thanks,
Valerie
